Co-Op in Assassin's Creed 3?

Leak suggests you'll get by with a little help from your friends in Assassin's Creed 3.

It appears you won't be tomahawking redcoats all by your lonesome in Assassin's Creed 3. Details on AC3 listed at Microsoft's product site indicate two-to-four player co-op will be one of the game's big new features.

IGN spotted the feature listing (since pulled) on Microsoft's Xbox Marketplace page for Assassin's Creed 3. It's unclear at this point if co-op will be available in the single-player campaign or if it will be in a separate mode. If I had to guess, I'd say it will be a separate, horde-mode-like experience with friends teaming up to take on waves of enemies. Hey, everybody's doing it!

At this point, it looks like Microsoft was the only one to make the slip up and leak Assassin's Creed 3 co-op, but the product listing at GameStop hints that your friends will join you in battle:

Join the Continental Army in a war for our freedom. With your comrades at your side, hunt down the British redcoats through chaotic city streets, and engage in full-scale military assaults in the wilderness. Experience the real war that shaped our nation.

And in case you missed it, here's the Assassin's Creed 3 reveal trailer Ubisoft released yesterday:
